They certainly aren't content with it at the moment, otherwise they wouldn't be ditching the Wii U so soon.RamSteelwood wrote:Nintendo are probably very content with their smaller slice of the pie knowing their bit is full of tasty steak (profit) where as sony and microsoft are fighting over the larger bit that's a got a lot of gravy and onion to wade through to find the steak.
The only way that machine will exist is if Nintendo go software only and make multiformat games.In saying that, personally i'd love for nintendo to make a 'standard' console, one that can match the ps4/one for performance and 3rd party support, play blu ray and dvds, and still give access to nintendo's own software too. that would be a piece of kit that could finally tempt me into an upgrade from my ps3.
To get ports, I think they have to. And they really need ports, it's obvious that they can't produce enough content on their own now.djchump wrote:They'll never go toe-to-toe with Sony & Microsoft.

Yeah, but they probably are. They can hardly develop for that and another new platform.Liveinadive wrote:We don't actually know they are ditching Wii U.
weren't they all generally inferior than existing 360/ps3 versions though? Buying lesser versions of games you've already got isn't a great incentive to move to a console for me, so it's not surprising they didn't sell that well, especially when you factor in that you knew that was the limit of the performance of the new console, and the ps4/one were just around the corner.retroking1981 wrote:Think how well Wi U was supported initially.

This is where I am thinking from.mistercrayon wrote:Which is why it would be dumb to make a third party machine from a certain perspective. Imo a Nintendo only console would be worth it with the combination catalogue of 3ds and wii u. For example. You wouldn't need MK7 and Mk8. Or 3d world and 3d land. Or nsmb2 and NSMBU. Resource saved on rebuilding engines for essentially the same games could be spent on new games.

Vita is a touch below PS2 levels it seems, and was pricey to start with. I think any hybrid console/handheld would be more like GC/Wii quality.
